Atlantic Odyssey – Halifax, Azores & Barcelona

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 16 nights from New York on April 19, 2026, visiting Halifax, Ponta Delgada and Lisbon, with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Barcelona, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. This one is as much about time on the ship as it is about the ports. 8 days at sea, so get comfortable. It's a proper Western Mediterranean tour: 4 countries, from Canada to France. You get around 11 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Meraviglia has 9 dining spots on board, most of them included. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An April departure catches that sweet window of warm-enough weather before the summer rush. 16 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
